After the picking crews go

"lTfcU decayed fruit is unquostion -
-ably the c.iuse of much of the
jftotown rot on the fruit of succeed
ing poach crops, and it is very
jMMssiblo that it is also responsible
jfor a quantity of I ho blossom

It is indood a dangerous and un
sanitary orchard practice to allow
peaches to decay and mummify in
«Ae orchards where they have fall-

periments have'proven that brown
